I am your typical housewife living in high maintenance suburbia. I have a handsome husband, 2 kids and a flock of pet chickens. I try and feed my family with $100 a month. With the help of coupons, gardening and bartering I am able to squeeze the most out of our grocery budget and still manage to have a little fun along the way.

Some people hear winter squash and wonder why on earth I’m talking about it in the fall. The winter in the squash doesn’t refer to it’s growing period, but rather the season it can be eaten through with proper storage.

I’m a big winter squash fan, and not just because they look so cool. Most winter squashes are vine-type plants with fruits harvested when fully mature. Winter squash take longer to mature than summer squash {3+ months} and are best harvested once the cooler fall weather sets in. They can be stored for months in a cool dry place like a basement—hence the “winter” in their name.

Here are some of my very favorite winter squash recipes, broken down by type. Enjoy!
